Most Australians with a mobility impairment live in housing which doesn't meet their needs. Please sign the Building Better Homes petition to get all levels of govt to make accessibility standards mandatory for all new residential homes change.org/p/join-the-campai…

Yes, but they missed the opportunity to explain how important housing is for employment, and why we need #accessibility in all homes, not just "purpose built" homes as suggested by the host @BetterHomesAus @ANUHD

If you (or someone close to you) is younger than 65, lives in #AgedCare, hospital or a rehabilitation centre, the @SummerFoundtn would love to hear from you. Your voice is critical to the work of keeping young people with #Disability out of aged care! linkedin.com/pulse/every-sto…

The Building Minister's Forum will meet today to make a decision about the lack of #accessible #housing in Australia.
Australia needs to introduce regulations mandating that new houses meet #accessibility standards. governmentnews.com.au/push-f…

Trump makes racist attacks on LeBron James, as well as many other black athletes, to feel powerful and divide us up. Congratulations to LeBron on opening the I Promise school—setting a great example for the young people of our country, unlike the president.thenation.com/article/lebron…

Well said @MargWard @ANUHD “If we had agreed to regulation in 2010 there would be two million new dwellings out there that were accessible.”
Australia needs a mandated minimum level of universal design in new homes.
